What’s new in 1.4.0

• Headless mode for scripts and CI. marl exec --json "…" runs one prompt without interaction and prints a single structured result — answer, usage, sources — with stable exit codes.
• Live web search. --web auto or /web lets Marl search the web when a request needs it (paid plans). Consulted pages are listed as numbered sources after the reply.
• Organisation policy. With an organisation service token, Marl Code applies the workspace policy set in myQuavern: allowed tools, denied commands, forced plan mode, a turn cap. Policy only narrows; it never grants.
• A GitHub Action. Pull-request review and triage jobs wrap marl exec with pinned, checksum-verified installs.

macOS, Linux and NetBSD:

curl -fsSL https://dl.quavern.net/MarlCode/install.sh | sh

The installer verifies every download against the published release checksum before touching anything.

Get started

1. Sign in: marl login opens your browser — approve the request with your myQuavern account. Marl Code uses your Marl subscription (Pro plan or above); no API key to copy.
2. Optionally run marl init once to create the repository’s .marl settings, agents, commands, and skills structure. Interactive /init is different: it writes the project guide MARL.md.
3. Run marl in a project directory and describe what you need. /help lists the commands. By default, Marl asks before changing files or running commands.
4. Along the way: @file adds a file, !cmd runs a shell command and passes its result to Marl, and #note saves a project note.

In scripts and CI, use marl login --with-token with an API key, then marl -p "…". Update any time with marl upgrade.
